Oregon Water Resources Congress
A complete website redesign and brand refresh for a statewide nonprofit representing irrigation districts and agricultural water providers across Oregon.
The Oregon Water Resources Congress (OWRC) began in 1912 as the Oregon Irrigation Congress, and they took their present name in 1970, after other water districts and local governments had joined them. OWRC’s mission is to promote the protection and use of water rights and the wise stewardship of water resources. As a nonprofit trade association, they represent irrigation, drainage, and other water districts and agricultural water providers across Oregon. Their district members deliver water to more than 597,508 acres of farmland, over a third of Oregon’s irrigated land. OWRC speaks up for their members before the Oregon Legislature, state agencies, and the U.S. Congress. Training and education on how water is managed and delivered round out their service to members.
Website Design
We worked with the Oregon Water Resources Congress to redesign their website for three groups — their member districts, policymakers, and the broader public. We listed the districts by region, and anyone looking for one can open its details to see who runs the district and how to reach its office. The site sets out OWRC’s state and federal policy priorities and the testimony and comments they have submitted, so legislators and their staff can see OWRC’s position on the issues in front of them. The design also helps OWRC’s small staff keep the site current alongside all their work for the districts they represent.
Website Hosting & Maintenance
Staff at the Oregon Water Resources Congress can turn to us for help with the website we host for them. Our 24/7 monitoring watches over it, we keep up with its updates and security, and we back it up each month, so the site is up and running when OWRC needs to alert their members to an issue.
Logo Design & Branding
To go with their redesigned website, we designed a new logo for the Oregon Water Resources Congress. We spelled out OWRC in a deep blue and filled the upper left of the O with a sky blue drop of water. The logo needed to be timeless and modern, and to work equally well on a billboard and on a ballpoint pen.
